User Authentication Techniques with RF IDeas.

In this Session

•   Prox Card: Introduction •   Computer Logon Approaches

–   Role of pcProx® •   pcProx® Reader & TermSecure •   Case Study •   Identifying Opportunities

–   Applications •   RF IDeas

Prox Card: Introduction

•   Proximity and Contactless smart card technologies –   Can be read without inserting it into a reader –   125 kHz or 13.56 MHz

Computer Logon Approaches

•   Common methods of login –   Windows (Basic) –   User Authentication (SSO)

•   Typing, Biometric, Contact, Token –   Operator ID (Application)

•   ACP ThinManager TermSecure •   HMI (Human Machine Interface) •   PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)

Role of pcProx®

•   pcProx®, pcProx® Plus

–   Backwards compatible –   Plug and Play –   USB Connectivity –   Supports over 45 card types –   Helps Meets Compliance

Alternate Form Factors

•   pcProx® Sonar –   Presence detector –   Auto log-off or lock

pcProx® Reader & TermSecure

•   Attach reader to the thin client

•   Add the RF IDeas pcProx module to the terminal; restart. –   USB says ‘USB’ –   Serial version uses the RF IDeas pcProx module

•   Card can be associated manually or automatically –   Create user and ‘Enter Card/Badge ID’ field in Wizard –   Scanning at reader on terminal to launch Wizard –   Optional password ‘Always Prompt for Password’

pcProx® Reader & TermSecure

•   Connection/Interface: –  USB self -powered off the computer

•   Keyboard Emulation •   ASCII text on a Virtual COM port

•   Integration: –  See ThinManager 7.0 User Manual, p270 “Card

and Badge Configuration for a TermSecure User”. –   In some cases, ThinManager will run on top of

other applications such as FactoryTalk View SE acting as a Single Sign-on referred to as Follow Me Session.

Case Study

•   Public Utility –   ACP ThinManger TermSecure on Arista thin clients –   pcProx Plus on the desktop –   Pilot with Operators was well received –   Expanding to outdoor systems

•   Operator logon to ensure authorization for HMI changes

•   ACP ThinManager users (and many more)

Identifying Opportunities

•   Any organization seeking to leverage their existing employee badge/card system for applications beyond building access. –  Secure Print Release –   Industrial Vending Cabinets –  Point of Sale –  Attendance Tracking
